[Npoc-discuss] NPOC Election Candidate Q&A via Email

Wed May 29 05:17:00 UTC 2024

Many thanks Glenn and Judith,

I believe we are all accountable to the community and so some of the
responses by my colleagues are apt with some of their responses which shows
that lots of work is been done in the background.

As membership Chair, It is very important to connect with members who are
stakeholders for growth. Engaging with other stakeholders and varied
interests within the ICANN community to understand the work that NPOC does
with the view of serving as a more vocal voice of reasoning and logic
during engagements with other communities within and beyond ICANN. In my
membership Chair role, I have organized a couple of webinars and sessions
for NPOC members.

Additionally, the bedrock of the GNSO which NPOC is part of is the policy
and public comments for the Not-for-Profit Orgs. I have participated in a
couple of draft  public comments
<https://community.icann.org/display/gnsononcomstake/Public+Comments+-+2023>
used
to engage within the NCSG and NPOC. As part of these efforts, I have tried
to stimulate interest of our members while communicating with members by
calling their attention to public comments that they can participate in and
contribute to. More importantly, I actively engage in Working groups.  Like
they say, if you are absent, you cannot contribute. Some of those working
groups include the CIP-CCWG
<https://community.icann.org/display/CIP/Continuous+Improvement+Program+Home>and
more recently the Pilot Holistic
<https://community.icann.org/display/atrt/Review+Team+Application%2C+Nomination+and+Selection>
which I just recently volunteered for.

While there is more on the policy side mentioned above, I have provided
shadow advice to some of my colleagues during the drafting of their
statement which they all are the authors in their own right. I believe that
is team role-playing.

During my tenure as the previous Communication Chair, I have had the
privilege of working with the Executive Team and the NPOC community to
achieve some notable accomplishments. We successfully revamped our website,
ensuring a user-friendly experience and mobile responsiveness. We also
implemented a regular newsletter to keep our members informed. These
achievements were made possible through the dedication and collaboration of
our team. The current website has been updated by our current
Communications chair was developed during my term as communications chair
where I took the lead in the active development of the website.

In my current term as Membership Chair, we have seen rapid growth in our
membership across different regions and strata. As you are aware, it is
rather more difficult to recruit members in the Not-For-Profit space
especially if their focus is not on Internet Governance or DNS-related

As Outreach and Engagement Coordinator, I am committed to building upon our
progress and achieving even greater heights within the ICANN community. It
is crucial for NPOC to have a strong and vibrant engaged membership base,
and I believe in connecting with stakeholders and fostering understanding
of NPOC's work. I aim to serve as a vocal voice of reason and logic during
engagements with other communities within and beyond ICANN.

These experiences have reinforced my belief in the power of bottom-up
consensus and the importance of member engagement.

I believe my colleagues have done justice to some of the question and we
appreciate the feedback and questions asked to engage us.
